[D] _ _ _ _ God came down to earth to [G] enjoy what she [D] created.
Took a fishing trip to Georgia to see what she could [A] see.
[D] Cast out a holy line.
Thought [G] she'd hooked [D] a big one.
Reeled in [G] an oil [D] barrel and [A] said,
Oh my [D] me, _ this is why. _
[G] Your whole world is [D] on fire, this is why.
You can't drink from your [A] own [D] springs, this is why.
This [A] is why, [D] this is why, why, [G] why, this [D] is why.
Y'all [A] can't have [D] nice things. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
So she walked back to the highway, flagged down a passing stranger.
An old man with a kind streak who offered her [A] a toke.
And [D] just as she was partaking, the blue [G] light [D] started flashing.
As he slipped [G] the [D] handcuffs on her, she [A] thought, this must be [D] a joke.
This is why.
Y [G]'all are all strung out [D] for Christmas, this is why.
_ I left you all [A] in seats, this [D] is why.
This [A] is [D] why, this is why, [G] why, why, this [D] is why.
Y'all [A] can't have [D] nice things. _

_ _ So she walked out of the jail with a rap sheet and no money.
And looking for a call, she passed by an [A] angry mob.
[D] They were yelling about people who should [G] suffer [D] pain eternal.
She [G] asked for a [D]
dollar and [A] they said, [D] send her, get a job.
This is why, this is why, [G] I blessed you [D] with compassion, this is why. _
I gave you [A] empathy, this [D] is why.
_ [G] I said to [D] love your neighbor, this is why. _ _
Bells don't [A] go on the street, [D] this is why. _
[G] I gave you [D] all salvation, this is why.
_ _ Angels [A] lose their wings, [D] this is why.
[A] This is why, this [D] is why, [G] why, why, _ _ _ _ this [D] is why.
[A] Y'all can't have [D] nice things.
[G] Oh, [D] this is why [A] y'all can't have [D] nice things. _
